Breastfeeding Classes

As a CAPPA certified Lactation Educator, I am passionate about providing breastfeeding education and guidance to all women who desire to breastfeed.

When you pay the suggested fee for any of my private breastfeeding classes, you will be eligible for one free home visit after your baby is born. A home visit after your baby is born will provide you with additional guidance as well as a chance for you to ask any questions specific to you and your baby. Choosing any of my breastfeeding classes will give you access to all of my breastfeeding resources as well as unlimited phone and text support.

Partners are always welcome and encouraged to attend.

Donation-based breastfeeding classes in a group setting are offered periodically in addition to private classes. Please contact me or subscribe to the events on our Facebook page for details on my next group breastfeeding class.

This is a private 2 hour class where you will learn everything you need to know to begin breastfeeding. Topics include the benefits of breastfeeding, breastfeeding myths, how breastfeeding works, how to know if your baby is getting enough, latching, and breastfeeding positions. A private setting will allow you and your partner to ask questions and discuss any apprehensions you may have about breastfeeding.

Investment:

$40-$90 (Suggested Fee of $60)

The suggested fee for this class is $60. However, we offer a flexible sliding scale of $40-$90 and our clients pay what they are able to, no questions asked.

In order to be eligible for a free home visit, you must pay at least the suggested fee of $60.

Going Back to Work

This is a private 2 hour class specifically for mothers planning on returning to work after baby. Working and breastfeeding can be a challenge but it can also be completely achievable with good knowledge and support. Topics include pumping, bottle-feeding, and the overall logistics of being a working breastfeeding mother. This class can be taken during pregnancy or postpartum- regardless of when you are returning to work.

Breastfeeding Essentials + Going Back to Work

Choosing both classes will provide you with complete knowledge of breastfeeding essentials and breastfeeding upon returning to work. The "Going Back to Work" class does not cover the essentials of breastfeeding. Therefore, if you are returning to work I recommend taking the combination class unless your breastfeeding relationship has already been established, you have already taken a breastfeeding class, or if you have breastfed a previous baby. Both portions of this class can be taken together or separately, whichever you prefer.

Investment:

$75-$150 (Suggested Fee of $100)

The suggested fee for this class is $100. However, we offer a flexible sliding scale of $75-$150 and our clients pay what they are able to, no questions asked.

In order to be eligible for a free home visit, you must pay at least the suggested fee of $100.

We accept cash, credit/debit cards, health savings accounts (HSA), as well as online payments processed though Paypal. Invoices and receipts are provided.

We are sincere in our commitment to providing exceptional and accessible doula support in our community. If you're currently experiencing financial limitations beyond what the sliding scale can accommodate, reach out so we can discuss our options and try to come up with a reasonable arrangement.
